00:00Right now, we are in Atri Parkhand's Chiriyawa village, where you will find a well in every house.

00:05This well is special because in today's time, the well is getting extinct.

00:11But the people of this village still work with wells.

00:15It is also used in household chores.

00:19We have the elderly people of the village with us.

00:22We will talk to them about how many houses are here, how much population is here,

00:26and what is the concept of wells and why are there wells in every house.

00:31Actually, this Chiriyawa village is situated on the top of a mountain.

00:36There is a population of more than 120 houses here.

00:40But there are wells in every house.

00:42And people are still alive because of this well.

00:45They use this well and do all the work with it.

00:49The government has not provided any facility for people to drink water.

00:57People have made wells.

01:00How many wells are there?

01:01There are more than 100 wells here.

01:03People are doing it on their own.

01:05Those who have money, they are making their own wells and drinking water.

01:10And those who don't have money, they are doing it on their own.

01:15How much water does it take?

01:16We get water from the well in Boring village.

01:23And in the well?

01:24In the well, we get a little water at a rate of 28-30 rupees.

01:28People keep working with it.

01:30How many years has the well been here?

01:33Since the population of this village has settled here, the well has been here.

01:38Since the population of this village has settled here, the well has been here.

01:42What happened after that?

01:43What happened after that?

01:44We are getting water from the well.

01:47The well was here, but now it is not working.

01:52The well is in Harjan Tola.

01:54In Ward 11?

01:56Yes, in Ward 11.

01:58We are in Ward 10.

01:59There was a well in Ward 10, but it was not successful.

02:04Today, it is closed.

02:07What about the government well in Boring?

02:11There are about 21-22 people working in the well.

02:15And the rest are failing.

02:17What is the reason for the failure?

02:19The reason for the failure is that the government is not paying attention to it.

02:23If the public well is installed on the road,

02:27the entire village comes and goes from it.

02:30It gets spoiled when it is used.

02:32Then there is no one to take care of it.

02:35Is there a well in your house?

02:36Yes, there is a well in my house.

02:38Since when?

02:39Since my father's time.

02:42He died after 110 years.

02:46He had 3-4 wells dug in his time.

02:52Now the well is like a river.

02:55Yes, it is like a river.

02:57We can't do anything with it.

03:23Do they ask you the reason?

03:25No, why would they ask me the reason?

03:27Everyone comes to our wedding.

03:29Everyone comes from our family.

03:31Do they ask you the reason?

03:33No, why would they ask me the reason?
